Increase tariffs on goods that we can build/supply on our own. This will bring manufacturer focus back to providing for American interests instead of international. For instance, we export goods such as grain, milk, and textiles, and we import goods made with those things. Why don’t we just keep the exports here, manufacture those goods ourselves, tariff the goods that we can make but others are importing? That would reduce the amount of back and forth with shipping, and Americans could find jobs making those goods.

The whole reason China’s booming the way they are is that Americans are thirsty for shit they can make on the cheap. If we brought the manufacturing of those goods back to America, you cut out middle-men and shipping and put Americans back to work. America’s desire for goods, esp. luxury goods like vehicles, phones, electronics, etc., isn’t going away.

As a result of all of this, companies will come back to America to do business since the cost of exporting to us is so high. That puts Americans back to work and fattens the corporate tax rolls to make up the difference.

Tariffs were one of the few ways that America made its money early on. It was only after the egregious income tax laws were put into place that we lowered our tariffs and became more global with our manufacturing and shipping. This is exactly how you put America first: lower or eliminate income taxes and increase tariffs. Buy American.

Taking orders at a fast food window can be stressful. It requires multitasking skills and a high level of accuracy. Most teens today aren’t being taught these sorts of skills, and those who are find better jobs in the trades.

Wife and I went through the McD's drive-thru last night. She had a hankering for an ice cream cone. The drive-thru kiosks in my area now use an IVR (integrated voice response) system to take your order. They ask if you want breakfast or lunch/dinner. Then you tell them your order, and it's programmed to do everything without human interaction. The only time a human interacts is if the system doesn't recognize a command.

If the data on your SD card is formatted for Windows using NTFS, trying to open it on an Apple device won’t work.

Plug the SD card into your Windows machine, copy off the files to your local computer. Then, reformat the SD card using FAT32, and recopy the files back to the SD card. It should be readable by the Mac now.

I found the article so wordy and emotional that I could barely read it.

Agreed. So saccharine!

I've been in IT for 20 years. IT is brutal. It is logical. It doesn't care that you have feelings. When you sit down to troubleshoot a particularly difficult issue, you start at the bottom of the OSI stack and work your way up; it is plugged in?

Coding, I understand, is a different beast, but you HAVE to fail. I spent months troubleshooting a PowerShell script I wrote that worked for 90% of its intended purpose, but one stupid function wouldn't give me what I needed. It came down to a misspelled variable. I don't make that mistake anymore. I learned from my failure.

Coders seem to fall into one of two categories: "I don't care" or "I care so much." The "I don't care" coders puke out code and turn it in when it compiles and passes regression testing. The "I care so much" coders have a nervous breakdown when they submit their code and start to cry when they're criticized. As much as I despise the "I don't care" coders for their cavalier attitudes, I know I can go back to them to fix something without a maudlin display.

Some "active shooter" training uses this instead of the "shelter in place" methodology. They are VERY careful with their wording but basically say if you have have the means and the opportunity to take down the assailant to do it.

FireEye is on the up-and-up, and they’re generally viewed as one of the most reputable IT security institutions in the world. This is much ado about nothing, as are most of the MS FUD.

It’s not difficult to see the data that is sent via telemetry. If you were to go through it, you would notice that the data is sanitized and doesn’t contain anything that’s unique about you unless you’re using some off-off-brand USB mouse or an exceptionally old Centronics-based printer.

I’d like to see public funding of universities come to a screeching halt. I know it’s a state issue, but these institutions are doing nothing for the future leaders of this nation. Hell, they’re pumping out “leaders” of third world nations and leaving American young adults with shit for brains.

Shh. In this case, let the media screw up the reality. The process is ridiculous, petty, and onerous. I should be able to pick up a suppressor at WalMart. Cash and carry. Stacks of legal paperwork and "tax stamps" are infringements.

I’m confused about motivations here. The media does not gain any ground by impugning the integrity of a man. They’d be catering only to the rabid leftists who follow them. It would be very easy in this day and age to provide proof of antisemitism or misogyny, but they don’t. Are we to just take them at their word?

50 years ago, before the Internet was even an idea in someone’s mind, the media was considered honest and provided proof to backup everything they said. Nowadays the media is seemingly corrupt to the core and does nothing more than castigate those who oppose their views while the opposition, in this case conservatives, bend over backwards to provide facts about every last talking point.

The “left” is getting dangerous. It used to be that America’s polarity was closely pinned to moderate policy. Now, the Democrats aren’t just pushing the pedal to the floor, they’re pressing it THROUGH the floor and cutting the brake lines!

People like Moore and Hollyweird idiots, aided by academe, are making the youth and the strident leftists believe that centrist policies are the problem. They believe they haven’t gone far enough!

While I applaud Trump’s win and am breathing easier today than I have in a few weeks, the left is preparing for all out war. Remember that many of America’s previous assassination attempts were at the hands of ardent leftists and psychopaths (a distinction without a difference, I know). I would honestly not put it past them to make an attempt!
